mention Of the acts Of Great Britain In APP

south Of the Orinoco. South America is
divided into three great sections. one Of
which Is watered by the Orinoco,
another by the Amazon and the
third BY the La Plata. The prosper
ity OF these divisions depends, in
large measures on the free access 70 COM
merce Of the three rivers. The Orinoco
belongs 20 Venezuela as heir Of the Span
iards. The English are acquiring not only
the territory Of the Orinoco and Amazon,
but have actually taken possession u the
land bounding the Orinoco at
its mouth. This act Venezuela
can not permit, and consequently
she has suspended her relations with En-
gland, and has applied 20 the United
States Government 20 act as arbitrator in
behalf Of Venezuela. The English
Government has denied the right of
arbitration Of the matter. Venezuela
therefore proposes TO send sufficient
army TO drive the English usurpers from
her territory. II is hoped that the United
States will intervene 70 terminate the
question, and require Great Britain 70
submit 20 arbitration"

THE POSTAL LAWS.

New Regulations Provided for by Congress
About to Go Into EGect-A Reform In the
Manner Of Keeping Accounts.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE revision Of
the postal laws and regulations provided
for BY the last Congress il now complete
and in press. The book will contain about
six hundred pages, and TO the volume 70
be issued TO the larger Offices in which
mails are exchanged with foreign coun-
tries, an appendix containing all the postal
and money order conventions will be adj
ded. The volume contains all the
postal laws now in force. and a carefully
arranged compilation Of the various gen.
eral statutes applicable to the department..
The regulations are rearranged, neatly
written. and much condensed
They contain few radical chan
ges from existing methods.
The most important chan &c made is in the
manner Of keeping accounts In post-of-
fees, and in rendering returns thereon.
Heretofore the postmaster was required 70
keep q record Of receipts, . quarterly nc-
count current and general postal ac-
count. One class Of expenditures or re-
ceipts were required TO be entered In one &C
count, and another class In the other.
much confusion resulted from the nice dis
tinctions between these accounts. The two
accounts are to be consolidated, 50 that but
one return Is rendered which will be q com
plete exhibit Of the business Of the current
quarter, and also give the exact state Of
the post masters account with the depart
ment b postal business; all debts being
charged and credits given In one account.
In connection with this system Of nc
counts third and fourth class postmasters
are 70 be furnished record books, In which,
on forms carefully prepared, their &C
counts can be easily kept and receipts and
expenditures readily stated, by merely
nlling the blank spaces with the proper
figures. This method will greatly simplify,

accounts and rendering Of returns, and en-.
